We wanted to catch some sun for a week in this grey, boring Dutch winter and this was worth the trip! Perfect location, very close to the white beach and busy center. The rooms are very clean, spaceous, practical, great shower! This hotel is value for money for sure! The staff is very friendly though not everyone speaks English that... More

Magic Blue is like a slice of paradise. Each time we entered the resort, day or night, I literally sighed... it's calm and lush; a nice retreat from all of the activity and hustle of Playa. The location is good; steps away from restaurants, clubs, and 3 blocks from the beach. However, the drawback of the location is the night-time... More

This little gem is an older hotel that has been completely refurbished and updated. With land so expensive in Playa, it is rare to find a large inner courtyard with a nice pool and bar surrounded by rooms. This is my fifth winter in the Yucatan and I move around a lot, but this is only the second hotel I... More

Upon our arrival we were given a room according to our previous requests when booking the our trip. The room was very clean, lost of space, could be better furnished but overall it was ok. We had a problem with the shower which we reported to the front desk, they immediately sent someone to install a new shower!! The staff... More

This hotel is amazing. It's like a lush blue and green oasis that's absolutely lovely in the day or night. The pool was great, as were the trendy rooms with comfy beds and wonderful showers. The hammock on our balcony was my boyfriend's favorite part. The staff was lovely and attentive, the food was great, and although there was one... More

We stayed at Magic Blue Hotel for a relaxing break, the rooms were located away from the main reception the set up was more motel than hotel. The breakfast was next door in another place - a bit disjointed! Bathroom was very small, but lovely swimming pool - we didnt spend much time at the hotel as there was a... More

is my third time at the hotel and I like it more every day! The service and attention are great. The hotel is always amazingly clean. The location is great, just one block from the famous Fifth Avenue, great place to walk to eat or drink a "Coronita" beer in the afternoon. Do not miss this hotel, will not be... More

When I arrived at the hotel with my husband wer had indeed been given a ground floor room. The room was large, spacious (lovely bed) and had an awesome rain shower! It was clean and... More

Magic Blue was the perfect fit for our group, great location just off all the commotion, it is a super little get away. The rooms are spacious, the showers are open and large with great water pressure. The porches & balconies have super hammocks that add a sweet bohemian charm,not to mention a nice spot to take a short siesta.... More
